Bryce Ryan Martin (obituary)

Our little man arrived to us June 3, 2006. He was called home before his time with us had begun. Bryce is survived by his parents Ryan and Allison Martin, his big sister Jadynn, and grandparents, great grandparents, aunts and uncles who all love him very much.
Bryce will be laid to rest next to his Great Grandpa in the Washington Heights Cemetery. Though his time with us was short and he may be gone, he will never be forgotten. We love you Bryce!

Missing and loving you

So I was doing some packing tonight and I have been kind of putting off packing some of your stuff because although I plan to put it back up once we move, it somehow feels wrong to pack your stuff away in a box. Anyway, so I got up the nerve and did it tonight. Well as always I am bawling when I get your stuff out and loving on it and just wishing you were here...well, I was loving on your little hat and I was looking and I found one of your hairs! Oh my gosh...I started freaking out! I never got a lock of hair from you and now I have one little tiny hair of yours and now I am terrified of losing it! I stared for a bit and just cried and then I thought, "crap...what if I breath and lose it?!?" So I got up and held it tightly and put it in a baggy so I never lose that hair. Who would have thought that a hair would have effected me so much? But I now have one more piece of you that I never thought I had! I am in love with the hair! I hate that life has to move on without you, but it does and I miss you so much. I have always felt that with everyday that goes by that I feel farther and farther away from you but now I try to look at is as it being one day closer to when I get to see you again! Know that I love and miss you very much, more than anyone can understand.
Love, Mommy
